Kim's Reviews > Frost

I had no idea what to expect with Frost - was interested in the book because of the post-apocalyptic story and the gorgeous cover. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Finn and his sister live in a post-apocalyptic world where environmental factors such as toxic snow and giant hail - not to mention threats from roving gangs and dwindling supplies - mean survival is difficult. While trying to find medicine for his sister, Finn is saved by a group of bandits by Spencer, and a new relationship tentatively begins.

Frost is a quick read that feels more like a novella than a full fledged novel, but that's okay. The pacing is quick, the writing is engaging, and I was never bored. Adler paints a bleak picture of the apocalypse, though the back story isn't fully explained. But really, Frost's story is more about the romance between Finn and Spencer than anything else - I just wish the story had been longer, so their coupling didn't feel as much like instalove. Still, unlike so many onerous pairings in other stories, something about this duo's instalove feels more palatable.

Overall a solid read, and I plan to check out more from this author.
